Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on May 17, 2020 11:14 AM concerning plant:
Powder blue/white Echeveria from Nuevo León, Mexico. Rosettes are solitary, reaching 5-7 inches in diameter. Flowering stems have 0-1 branch and hanging flowers are rather insubstantial and coral or pinkish.
This species is very popular in cultivation because of its striking color and symmetry. It is frequently confused with E. runyonii, which it somewhat resembles when not in flower. It is a parent of various attractive powder blue to white hybrids, including "Beverley" (with "Mexican Giant"), "Clarina" (with colorata), "Lola" (with "Tippy"), "Lucila" (with laui), "Margaret Rose" (with Graptopetalum amethystinum), and "Paloma" (with colorata "Lindsayana").
Distributed as ISI 1468 (1984) and as ISI 1559 (1985). Propagated from leaves or seed. Best form and color in strong light.
